I can't think of a single governmental power that hasn't been misused or abused at some time or another.
The Feds PROMISED SSNs would never be used as national ID numbers. Guess what is used as an ID number by the Feds?

The Feds PROMISED that its federal highway funds would not be used to force states to make their laws conform to what the Feds want to get those funds. Guess what the Feds did during the '73 energy crises?

The Feds PROMISED Federal Aid To Education funds would not be used to set state educational standards. Guess what's happening now?

Somebody REALLY wonders why we don't trust the Feds?
